[xdebug-general] Feature Request for XDebug to turn OFF color in var_dump()

Derick,
 
I love XDebug.
 
However one thing that is problematic is that there doesn't seem to be a way
to turn off the special color and formatting. There is only a way to force
it enabled on a CLI via xdebug.cli_color. That's the opposite of what I
want.
 
For example, I am debugging some AJAX using Firefox and Firebug. I make the
request and using that tool I can view the returned "Response". However it
is all difficult to read:
 

 
<pre class='xdebug-var-dump' dir='ltr'>
<b>object</b>(<i>Join</i>)[<i>3</i>]
  <i>public</i> 'username' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> <font color='#cc0000'>'asdfasdf5'</font>
<i>(length=9)</i>
  <i>public</i> 'password' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> <font color='#cc0000'>'testtest'</font>
<i>(length=8)</i>
  <i>public</i> 'email' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> <font color='#cc0000'>'clement[@]example.net'</font>
<i>(length=16)</i>
  <i>public</i> 'customer_lname' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <font
color='#3465a4'>null</font>
  <i>public</i> 'customer_fname' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <font
color='#3465a4'>null</font>
  <i>public</i> 'customer_address' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <font
color='#3465a4'>null</font>
 
I just want the nice plain version without all the HTML markup in there.
 
Ideally it would be a second parameter rather than a ini_set() option (or do
both!)
 
var_dump($myvar, NO_COLOR); or something like that.
 
Thanks,
